The results of the most recent draw of Australian Permanent Residency under the Skill Select System conducted in May 2016 reflect that a huge number of Invitations were issued to IT professionals and Accountants. Sources reveal that while Invitations for Subclass 489 (Family sponsorship) remained static to 10 invitations each month since December 2015, the number of Invitations for Skilled Independent Subclass 189 has been significantly growing. As of the records, during the month of April about 2,200 Invitations for Skilled Independent Subclass 189 were issued overall whereas, in May the number exceeded expectations and increased to 2,435, with a majority of them being issued to IT professionals and Accountants.

With this increase, the following occupations have reached the ceiling and have been closed till July 1, 2016.
